Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 58 Intelligence
Breakfast was paid for by Kakashi.

Akai and Huili, two big eaters skilled in physical combat, were having a great time eating and drinking to their hearts' content.

Hui Li didn't eat Kakashi's breakfast for nothing.

She gave Kakashi some important information:
Take the scroll of Shadow Clone Technique to the 'Ninja Tool Master Shop' and sell it. You might get a cash reward of up to 500,000, and if it's Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques, it could even reach 1 million.

Kakashi was immediately tempted.

He knows both of these ninjutsu, one is B-rank and the other is A-rank.

These are all general-purpose ninjutsu that are permitted to be disseminated by the ninja villages.

The principle and hand seals are similar, but the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique consumes more chakra and has a higher limit than the Shadow Clone Technique.

Because of its high difficulty in cultivation and its high side effects, it is listed as a forbidden technique.

However, forbidden techniques do not mean that they cannot be practiced. It just means that ninjutsu marked as forbidden techniques should be practiced with caution. In the war-torn ninja world, what is forbidden or not? Any ninjutsu that can kill is a good ninjutsu.

Normally, the Shadow Clone Technique could sell for around 100,000 to 200,000.

After all, Water Clone and Earth Clone are not bad either. The only advantage of Shadow Clone is that it does not require nature transformation and its versatility is acceptable, making it a relatively mediocre ninjutsu.

One million is no small sum.

The maximum reward for a single A-level mission is only one million.

This kind of mission is extremely dangerous; even a Jonin would find it difficult to escape unscathed. Secondly, it is very difficult to complete alone, as the reward is substantial, leaving little for the teammates.

Ten percent of the leaves are extracted.

A portion of the individual income tax will be collected again.

Finally, after deducting the time and cost of travel, medical care, accommodation, and ninja tool consumption... after working yourself to the bone, you'd be lucky to save 100,000 after a mission.

If the intelligence is accurate, this wave could be equivalent to ten A-level missions at most.

Kakashi memorized the information provided by Hairi.

There was absolutely no doubt.

At this point, Hai Ri defeated Kazama Etsu first, and then instantly opened all four gates. Kakashi's attitude towards Hai Ri has changed from looking down on him to looking at him at eye level, and now he is subtly looking up to him.

Recognition of ability and talent gradually shifts to trust.

With her strength, there's no need for her to lie about such a trivial matter; that's Kakashi's current thought.

Kakashi profited, and Hairi didn't lose out either.

There's no way she'll get the 100,000 yuan deposit back, and she doesn't have the money to pay the remaining balance right now.

He is soft on people, but short on mouth when eating people.

Kakashi made a fortune from her information, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to go to Kakashi again and get the Shadow Clone Technique for free.

In the process, she spent 100,000 yuan to learn the Shadow Clone Technique, which boosted Kakashi's favorability. With Kakashi's accumulated ninjutsu skills, the subsequent elemental ninjutsu was also in the works.

The ninja tool shop owner didn't lose money either.

This morning, while passing by their shop for lunch, I saw advertisements for their chakra test strips that showed five different attributes. These ads were plastered everywhere, attracting a large crowd.

Some people questioned whether it was true or not.

The shop even invited ninjas who had been watching the ninja tool shop at the time to provide corroboration, and business immediately boomed.

It can be said that Gray Glass created a win-win-win situation.

Had breakfast.

The three of them went their separate ways.

Kakashi, already tempted, went to the "Ninja Tool Shop" to gather information and sell ninjutsu.

Hui Li went to school alone with her schoolbag on her back.

To pay off his debts and support his family, Might Guy went to the Third Hokage to hand over information about Hai Ri.

He wanted to earn a commission fee first, achieving a win-win-win situation for all four parties.

However, the process didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined...

Konoha Building. Hokage's office.

dong dong!

The dark brown pipe kept hitting the table, and clumps of black ash poured out.

Behind the large, long desk.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped away the ashes, he looked at the report in his hand; the furrows on his forehead were so deep they could trap a fly.

The Uchiha clan is becoming increasingly restless.

The Uchiha clan members who were away on missions were recalled one by one, and various clan meetings were held every three days. At this time, Itachi Uchiha could not gain trust, and they could not receive specific information.

The information I have comes from the Root organization, which constantly monitors the Uchiha clan.

Five days ago, a mysterious wealthy merchant purchased a large quantity of weapons and supplies in the Land of Iron and transported them in batches to the eastern part of the Land of Fire. The exact destination is still unclear.

He ordered his subordinates to investigate and find out the identity of the wealthy merchant and the location of his weapons.

This morning, the Root organization has already submitted all the relevant information.

The wealthy merchant was a member of the ninja cat clan who was on good terms with the Uchiha. His weapons were sealed in scrolls, which were carried back to the clan's territory in batches by the Uchiha members who were recalled from outside.

The Uchiha clan's rebellious intentions are now crystal clear.

Dang Dang Dang!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and then Might Guy, dressed in light green, walked in.

Holding the neatly written report, he got straight to the point: "Lord Third Generation, the task you assigned me to gather information about Gray Glass has been completed. Please take a look."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned as his train of thought was interrupted.

He assigned a long-term task yesterday, and it's already completed today?
Even the Root organization, which uses every means possible, couldn't gather much intelligence in just one day. It took them a full five days to uncover the Uchiha clan's unauthorized purchase of strategic materials, despite their real-time monitoring.

How much information could Matt Kai, that roughneck, possibly extract from that cunning little girl?

Is he trying to scam me out of the mission reward?

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Might Guy, who stood tall and looked honest, and his mind was racing.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not show his true feelings on his face. Instead, his wrinkles relaxed and a kind smile appeared on his gentle face.

"Oh, it's Kai!"
You've already investigated all the information about Hui Li so quickly?
Is it not comprehensive enough?
Intelligence should ideally be crucial and detailed. Minor, routine intelligence doesn't need to be reported; you can organize it privately yourself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle.

He neither looked down on people from a high position nor showed any distrust of Might Guy's intelligence; he seemed like just an old man next door having a casual chat.

Might Guy didn't catch Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice-over.

A large fire broke out last night.

He owed Hui Li a billion yuan and also burned through his savings.

He's so poor he has to borrow money from Kakashi even for meals; he's practically starving.

How can you tidy it up in private?
Can I get a reward?

"Lord Hokage, I'm certain this information is extremely important!"

Matt Kai made a solemn promise.

Seeing that Might Guy was still persisting, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed his smile.

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village intensified, which already made him feel frustrated. Now that Might Guy couldn't understand what he was saying, he was even more annoyed.

Even seasoned politicians can't help but show their faces.

"I'm not going to read it anymore, let me just read it briefly!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, too lazy to look at Might Guy's intelligence, leaned back in his chair, filled his pipe, lit it, and began to think about the Uchiha problem, completely ignoring Might Guy's so-called intelligence.

But Matt Kee, who was in a hurry to get the money, didn't care about any of that.

Let's get started.
